Cycle parking scheme - guide

There are several different types of parking for cycles in Lambeth, including the on-street Bikehangar.

We want you to be able to take advantage of the benefits of cycling and understand that it's difficult to own a bicycle if you do not have a secure space to store it when at home and a secure space to park it when out and about. The council runs different bicycle parking schemes, and we work closely with housing associations, estates and residents to improve bicycle parking in Lambeth.

4. Lambeth Bikehangar

To encourage more people to cycle and use cycling as a mode of transport we have been helping residents who have nowhere to store their bikes by installing our specially designed secure Lambeth Bikehangar for them to rent.

The Lambeth Bikehangar installs easily into a standard 2m parking bay by bolting onto the kerb and holds six bikes securely; taking up 2.5m of space equating to 6 spaces for the space of half a car.

Each hangar space costs £42 to rent per year; £3.50 a month.

There are over 220 hangars installed in the borough and we're installing more. So far over 1,300 residents have been enabled to store their bikes safely and conveniently on their streets!

If you’re interested in applying for a space in an existing bikehangar please go to the Cyclehoop website.

5. Feedback

Following initial discussions with residents in the borough who requested secure bicycle hangar parking, we’ve started the public consultation and have invited residents on the affected streets to let us know their thoughts on the proposed locations of these hangars by filling in the survey below. You can find a full list of the roads and locations for this phase of implementation here (a PDF will be provided with all the locations.)

If you’re a resident on one of these affected streets would like to request a paper version of the survey, they can contact us at the following e-mail address to request one, using the heading Bike Hangar in the subject field:
environmentconsultation@lambeth.gov.uk.

If you don’t live on one of the roads that’s currently involved in the consultation but would like to find out whether you could have a bicycle hangar in your street, please see the information under the heading Lambeth Bikehangar highlighted above to find out more about the scheme
